probably simple paste question

Fri, May 29, 2009 10:39 AM #

Dear R People:

I have the following vector and am using the paste command:

[1] 57  2  8

[1] "stuff 57" "stuff 2"  "stuff 8"

What I want to have is
"stuff 57 2 8"


I also tried:

stuff 57 2 8> yb
character(0)

I have the feeling that it's really simple and right in front of me.

Thanks,
Erin

You need (or rather, "one way is") to collapse the 'ya'
